OK... I will ask: What about 2012 6GC.NET calendar? Options

[malpaso]

I'm in this community for ages and as I remember there always been 6GC.NET calendar. I do not want to talk about what happened last year. I would like to talk about what will happen this year.

I really would like to see next year on my wall 6GC.NET calendar. Question is what needs to be done to make this happen.

- I know there is needed approval from the owner (to use 6GC.NET logo)
- I know there is needed to find the best 12pictures around (or 14... 12months, cover and bonus month for 2013.. whatever)
- I know there is needed someone who manage this
- I know there is needed deadline. Soon enough deadline to have calendar in December 2011 delivered.

and I also know it is not any hard to manage this. Last year I made one for Celica Czech Republic Club. We made deadline for pictures in October and a month ago I was sending finished calendars... see the topic http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76445 that's it. Nothing more needed.

My point is. If I'm able to manage 20 calendars for $17 internationally delivered each from CZ... anyone in US can do the same for similar price. So... how hard could it be to see 6GC.NET calendar 2012 on the wall?

Situation is like this. First idea was to make calendar only with pictures from COTM winners. Unfortunately:

- Not even half of COTM winers send me picture of the car so far
- Not all COTM winning picture are made in high resolution...

So I have looked at old calendars I have and realized QUALITY OF PICTURE MATTERS! So I really need to send to printer company 12 months + cover sheet at 3508x2480 pixels. Not less. No blurry pictures. No pixelate pictures.

From now I do not care if picture I receive is COTM winner or not. I take ANY good looking pictures in maximum resolution as possible. It is not important if there is one 3508x2480 picture or 4x 1600x1200 once. Together it must be 3508x2480. That is why I prefer to receive more pictures and taken from more angles to not make it boring. Of course if there is more than 12+1 interested priority has COTM winner. That is all.

EDIT: to let you understand better... Here is one example. I have received pictures from salv as COTM winner. He has send three pictures at resolution 1024x678... so his page on calendar would look like this:



Or when printed with this resolution will do this:



I'm really glad for his response but... this material is for printing useless .

I feel like the picture wont actually look THAT bad. It's very very zoomed in here. We don't need that kind of close up do we? with that image being the entire car, I don't think it would be THAT bad.

To me, if it means having a calendar with some great cars means that a few months have to suffer in the quality, then so be it. But his other pictures just as you showed them there didn't look terrible as they sat on my screen. and as i walk past this every day, I'm not going to stop and think, wow, what a semi-grainy pic that is on my wall that I can't even tell the difference unless I stop and stare... ya know?
just my .02

especially if we do the multiple shot look - the resolution doesn't need to be as high for that... (3 on the side, one in the middle)
